According to Marge Williams, Chief Administrative Officer, Town of
Coalhurst, the coal miner illustrated on the town's flag was taken
from a ceramic miner made by a resident in the early 1980s - the
yellow stripes represent looking into the future. The Town of
Coalhurst (population: 1,493) is located west of the City of
Lethbridge in Southern Alberta.Darrell Neuman, 15 November 2008
